Hard rucks and mauling in the forwards gained ball to set up Limberg's tries with assists from her fellow backs, including a particularly nice assist from a two-on-one with wing Perla Cassetta and Limberg sweeping past the Menagerie wing down the sideline.<br /><br />An unfortunate high tackle by a Wisconsin player five meters out from the try line drew a penalty try call from the referee to give Minneapolis a tied game at the halftime, 12-0.<br /><br />Slippery conditions caused by a constant drizzle left both teams with sloppy passes and catches throughout the match.<br /><br />The second half saw both teams continue battling in the forwards with the Menagerie maintaining pressure on the Wisconsin defense and the women from Madison working hard to fringe and stop the Menagerie forwards at breakdowns.<br /><br />The Menagerie rallied again for a try, followed by Limberg's third try for a hat trick in the game and then another try from Minneapolis. However, Wisconsin would falter in the closing minutes after losing a player to a red card from a confusing situation at a late ruck and playing down one player for the final 14 minutes.<br /><br />A final messy ruck near Wisconsin's try line after a Menagerie lineout saw the ball fly out of the bottom inside the try zone into open space. Surrounded by players from both teams, a Menagerie player pounced on the open ball for a final try against Wisconsin.<br /><br />Wisconsin named Lena Arvola (Prop) and Jenn Johnson (Scrumhalf) as the Players of the Game. Arvola turned in an outstanding and physical game in the forwards, drawing high-fives from many of her teammates, while Johnson lead her teammates all day with great communication to the forwards and clean passes despite sloppy conditions to the backline.<br /><br />The Minneapolis Menagerie honored Limberg as their Player of the Game for her three tries.<br /><br />While a frustrating outcome after a loss and traveling with a small roster, including missing Forwards Captain Katie Rouse, Wisconsin felt the match was a success in preparing for greater physical play for future games.<br /><br /><strong>Wisconsin Roster (City, Previous Team):<br /></strong>1.

Rachael earned Wisconsin's Player of the Game honors for her hard work Saturday on the wing and also jumping in the lineouts for the first 50 minutes.<br /><br />Rookies Katie Williams (Flanker) and Mary Hanks (No. 8) joined veterans Jen "Petey" Peterson (Flyhalf) and Perla Cassetta (Wing) in rounding out the try scoring.<br /><br />The only try given up was a penalty try due to a high tackle coming off a Siren weakside overload and the ensuing conversion kick.<br /><br />Credit to the Sirens, a young team with a new crop of players, for their hard hits and scrappy play. They disrupted several Wisconsin rucks early on as Wisconsin shook off the summer rust and remembered how to play.<br /><br />Wisconsin was forced to readjust its strategy after the new five-meter rule was not enforced off scrums, but the women from Madison pulled their game together and began to dominate play.<br /><br />Following the match, the Sirens coach congratulated the Wisconsin Women on their "great technical play" and Chicago named Strongside Flanker Katie Williams as its chosen visiting Player of the Game for "being everywhere and tackling everyone".<br /><br />Wisconsin's veterans also applauded the play of the team's new players starting in their first 15s game in the red and white - Williams, Hanks (a UW-Madison graduate), Jenn Johnson (UW Grad) and Megan Bondehagen.<br /><br /><strong>Wisconsin Roster (City, Previous Team):</strong><br />1.

In this thirteenth year for the Women’s All-American program, players were selected based on their performance from the entire collegiate season. Many of the athletes have repeated as All-Americans, and others demonstrated their abilities with their respective territory's Under-23 team. <br /><br />Out of nearly 10,000 women playing college rugby in 2006-2007, 32 First Team and 35 Second Team All-Americans were selected by a committee, with players representing 38 individual colleges. Those chosen will receive a letter and a certificate from USA Rugby and their respective school's club sports director will also receive a letter and certificate of recognition. <br /><br />"The growth in collegiate rugby, its competitiveness and excellent quality of play continue to amaze us, thus making the committee’s decision process long and difficult,” said Women’s Collegiate All-American Committee Chair Alan Osur. <br /><br />The committee consisting of Osur, Darlene Connors, Steve Murra, Nancy Kechner and Ellen Owens, represents a cross-section of rugby coaches and administrators. They received input from other coaches and administrators from across the nation and spent many weeks analyzing player performances. <br /><br />The Women's All-American program was started by the Collegiate Committee in 1995 and has grown over the years as the number and quality of the players and teams have improved. Back in 1995, there were 167 collegiate teams, while this year more than 300 collegiate teams are in competition. Between 1995 and 1998, the committee named only first team All-American selections, but since 1999 both first and second team players have been selected. <br /><br />The Women’s Collegiate All-Americans for the 2006-2007 academic year are as follows:<br /><br /><strong>FIRST TEAM:</strong><br /><em><strong>Northeast</strong></em> - Kirsten Ahrendt (Dartmouth); Emilie Bydwell (Brown); Danielle Goodman-Levy (Vassar); Jennifer Hustwitt (Brown); Tess Kohanski (Syracuse);Dianna Le (Army). <br /><br /><em><strong>MARFU</strong></em> - Katy Black (West Chester); Kate Daley (Penn State); Elizabeth Inkellis (Princeton); Diana Klein (Penn State); Sarah Miller (James Madison); Carrie Perdue (Virginia); Alison Worman (Penn State). <br />South - Becky Urion (Florida).<br /><br /><em><strong>Midwest</strong></em> - Sylvia Braaten (Marquette); Kassie Drey (Northern Iowa); Kristy Lear (Minnesota); Tiffany McCoy (Northern Iowa); Sarah Wilson (Ohio State). <br /><br /><em><strong>West</strong></em> - Rebecca Barron (Texas A&M); Sydney Forestal (New Mexico); Jillion Potter (New Mexico); Gina Steffano (Texas A&M). <br /><br /><em><strong>Pacific Coast</strong></em> - Olivia Anglade (Stanford); Katie Chou (California); Kelly Nielson (Chico State); Elaine Schlarb (Oregon State); Cameron Stewart (Davis); Jacelyn Tseng (Stanford). <br /><br /><em><strong>Southern California</strong></em> - Phoebe Boone (Santa Barbara); Kelly Griffin (UCLA); Alexis Volen (San Diego). <br /><br /><br /><strong>SECOND TEAM:</strong><br /><em><strong>Northeast</strong></em> - Ida Bernstein (Syracuse); Emily Dupre (Northeastern); Aimee Gough (Radcliffe).<br /><br /><em><strong>MARFU</strong></em> - Stephanie Burkhardt (West Chester); Allurie Kephart (Penn State); Lauren Rosso (Penn State); Alison Searle (Penn State); Emily Shiflett (Virginia); Siobhan Tiernan (Virginia). <br /><br /><em><strong>South</strong></em> - Allison Fischman (Florida); Khadijah Glast (Clemson); Victoria Prader (Florida). <br /><br /><em><strong>Midwest</strong></em> - Schmarrah McCarthy (Purdue); Kathryn McCormick (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee); Amanda Rolling (Iowa State); Jessica Travers (University of Illinois). <br /><br /><em><strong>West</strong></em> - Jennifer Ballinger (Colorado); Elizabeth Bryant (Texas A&M); Natalie Frank (New Mexico); Olivia Herdt (Wyoming); Rocio Ramos (New Mexico); Desbah Yazzie (Air Force).<br /><br /><em><strong>Pacific Coast</strong></em> - Thania Balcorta (Davis); Megan Mendivil (Davis); Tara McBride (Chico State); Carey Myslewski (Stanford); Amara Reddick (UC-Santa Cruz); Rachel Reddick (Chico State); Alissa Sambucetti (California); Melissa Smit (Stanford); Megan Thompson (Western Washington); Caroline White (Chico State); Chelsea Willes (Brigham Young).<br /><br /><em><strong>Southern California</strong></em> - Rosie Krauter (Santa Barbara); Kara Mathews (Santa Barbara).</blockquote>Congratulations to Sylvia and Katie!Wisconsin Women's Rugbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04877056517773828905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779288372584127601.post-60107567063792885312007-09-18T11:17:00.001-05:002007-09-18T15:13:58.145-05:00Scores Around WisconsinFor the weekend of Sept. 15 ... <br /><br />Chicago North Shore def.

Results via the Harlequins:<br /><blockquote>Wisconsin Highland Games<br />2nd Annual 15s Rugby Tournament<br />Hosted by the Wisconsin Scottish, the Milwaukee Westside Harlequins RFC, and Marquette University RFC.<br />September 1st and 2nd, 2007 in Waukesha, Wisconsin.<br /><br />22 teams competed in the 2nd Annual Wisconsin Highland Games tournament at the Waukesha Expo Center over Labor Day weekend. The tournament included 4 teams in the Senior Men's division and 6 teams in the HS Girls division on Saturday, and 6 teams each in the Collegiate Women's and the Collegiate Men's divisions on Sunday. Special thanks go out to the many senior and collegiate women players who filled in for the late cancellation in the Collegiate Women's division.<br /><br />Congratulations to Catholic Memorial for winning the High School Girls' division, the UW Milwaukee Lady Panthers for winning the Collegiate Women's division, the Marquette Men for winning the Collegiate Men's division, and the Milwaukee Westside Harlequins for winning the Senior Men's division. The Lady Panthers, Marquette Men, and Harlequins are repeat winners from 2006. All winning teams received a tournament champion plaque, and their team names will be engraved on each of the divisional traveling trophies, Scottish Claymores, that they hold for the year. If any team wins 3 straight championships, they get to keep the sword courtesy of the Wisconsin Scottish.<br /><br />We hope to post advance scheduling information for the 2008 Wisconsin Highland Games in the near future. Please register early (not rugby time) because all schedules and rosters must be finalized one week prior to the tournament. Thanks to all who participated and we hope to see you again next year!<br /><br />Drew McMillin<br />Marquette University<br /><br />Joe Cunningham<br />Milwaukee Westside Harlequins</blockquote><em><strong>Saturday, Sept. 1 Results:</strong></em><br /><br /><strong>Senior Men </strong><br />Harlequins A 43 v.

The tour will consist of three games in cities on both the country's South and North Islands.<br /><br />The team will begin the tour with a match against Burnside Rugby Football Club Women's Team in Christchurch on Wednesday, July 25. The second match will be in Palmerston North against the Manawatu Club on Saturday, July 28. The New Zealand tour will conclude with a final game in Auckland on August 4. <br /><br />“It's important for us to take these kinds of trips, because the standard of play we're aiming for is not set by domestic US competitions. It is set in places like New Zealand and England right now, so we have to go,” said Head Coach Barbara Fugate. “These players will meet a new level of physical intensity and skill, and we hope that each of them will bring some of that back. This kind of tour can be a career-changing experience if the players take full advantage of it."<br /><br />In addition to playing against world class competition, the members of the U-23 squad will have a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend an evening with Farah Palmer, who captained the New Zealand Black Ferns at the last two Women’s Rugby World Cups. Also on the itinerary for their two weeks abroad is the New Zealand Domestic Women's Club Championship in Auckland on Saturday, August 4, which the U-23 women will be attending.<br /><br />“We are very excited about this group of 28 players,” Fugate added. “This is a young and extremely athletic team. It is a little bit seasoned in spite of the youth, because it includes many former USA U-19 players who already have some overseas tour experience.”<br /><br />The U-23 squad for the 2007 New Zealand Tour is as follows: Kirsten Ahrendt (Dartmouth), Tonya Ansel (Sr. MN Mankato), Amber Benlian (Maryland Women), Libby Berg (MN Valkyries), Phoebe Boone (UCSB), <strong>Sylvia Braaten (Chicago Northshore)</strong>, Emilie Bydwell (Brown Univ.), Kate Daley (Penn State Univ.), Kassie Drey (Univ of No Iowa), Sydney Forestal (UNM), Dani Goodman-Levy (Vassar), Kelly Griffin (UCLA), Brea Hughes (Texas A&M), Tess Kohanski (Syracuse), Kristy Lear (U of MN), Tara McBride (Cal State Chico), Schmarrah McCarthy (Purdue), <strong>Kati McCormick (Kettle Moraine)</strong>, Tiffany McCoy (Univ of No Iowa), Jillion Potter (UNM), Naima Reddick (Cal State Chico), Elaine Schlarb (Oregon State Univ.), Jess Travers (UIC), Emily Tunney (Philadelphia Women), Shaina Turley (San Diego Surfers), Krissy Vargas (Cal State Chico), Sheri Villa (American Univ.) and Sarah Wilson (Ohio St).<br /><br />Accompanying the players will be a staff of six, including: Barbara Fugate, head coach; Martha Daines, assistant coach; Susan Whitwell, assistant coach; Annemarie Henning, program manager; Teresa Tucker, team manager; and Nicole Titmas, athletic trainer.<br /><br />If you would like to support the U-23 Women’s New Zealand tour, please visit the Support USA Rugby webpage and select "U23 women" in the dropdown menu to designate the U-23 Women’s National Team as the recipient. If you make a donation of $100 or more, you will receive a photo of the team on tour in a scenic New Zealand location when the team returns.</blockquote>Representing Wisconsin, Sylvia Braaten is a former Marquette University alum and Kati McCormick is a Kettle Moraine HS alum and current UW-Milwaukee player.Wisconsin Women's Rugbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04877056517773828905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779288372584127601.post-84596720859222091232007-07-18T12:28:00.000-05:002007-07-18T12:31:30.660-05:00Link Update for UW-Milwaukee WomenThe University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Women's Rugby Team has updated its website link - <a href="http://www.uwm.edu/StudentOrg/lprfc/" target="_blank">http://www.uwm.edu/StudentOrg/lprfc/</a>. <br /><br />Be sure and update any links on your team's website or your own list of favorites!<br /><br />Thanks to Scot Prunkle for the update.Wisconsin Women's Rugbyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04877056517773828905noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4779288372584127601.post-48529901596870490372007-07-18T12:19:00.000-05:002007-07-18T12:28:22.988-05:00Midsummer 7s - Aug. 28An update from the Marquette University Women on their annual Midsummer 7s tournament:<blockquote>Hey all,<br />Just a reminder that the Marquette women are holding our annual MidSummer 7's tournament on July 28th this year.
